Check your passengers and yourself for any injuries. Don’t hesitate to dial 9-1-1 and don’t try to move someone, in your or another’s vehicle, unless necessary. This is because moving someone following a serious injury often times can worsen said injury. If you must move someone, keep their neck and head supported. Also, ask for help from others close by if you need help ensuring the person stays stable.2. Move Out of Traffic

Move to a parking lot, sidewalk or another safe area while staying at the scene of the accident. If your car can’t start or is badly damaged, turn on your flashers to alert other drivers.3.

Consider taking an ambulance ride to be on the safe side immediately following an accident.9. Consult an Auto Accident Attorney Before Speaking to an Insurance CompanyOftentimes, insurance companies will attempt to settle for an amount less than you deserve, especially if you suffered an injury.

Draw an Accident Diagram

Take the time to sketch out a diagram of the accident, including how it happened. This will make it easier to describe the incident to an attorney or to an insurance adjuster.

Sure, everyone who gets in a car and drives down the highway takes on some risk. Yet as our team understands, Uber and Lyft drivers face unique obstacles. Drivers have to work long days and late nights to make enough money. They take passengers to unfamiliar areas and under a certain time limit to keep their ratings up.

Our team includes experienced attorneys who have been working in the rideshare accident legal space since Uber came to the area. We understand the legal, physical, and emotional challenges rideshare accident victims face.

Unfortunately, Uber and Lyft accidents will only increase as the industry grows, meaning those without rideshare insurance could suffer financially devastating consequences. Without this coverage, you can be vulnerable because regular car insurance doesn’t cover these accidents in many cases.

Knowledgeable Uber and Lyft accident lawyers can explain the details to you, but it all comes down to this: you not only risk your safety, but your livelihood.What Should You Do After an Accident?

Many rideshare collision victims don’t know what to do to make sure they get the compensation they deserve. Knowledgeable accident lawyers know the process because they’ve dedicated their legal expertise to helping collision victims. They know how to navigate the differences between rideshare and standard auto insurance and pass this information to rideshare drivers.

Think Uber or Lyft will automatically cover you in the case of an accident? Think again, because they put their bottom lines first.

Typically, if your accident just involves damages to vehicles and no personal injuries, you should be able to sort out your claim with the insurance companies involved. However, all communication should be handled with care. Saying the wrong thing could lead to a lowering of coverage.

The best way to avoid this is to consult a rideshare accident lawyer before speaking to an insurance adjuster. Upon providing information to the insurance companies of everyone involved, they’ll negotiate among themselves and get you the settlement you deserve.

What Do You Need To Know About Lyft and Uber Accidents?

Both Uber and Lyft ensure their drivers are covered by $1 million in:

liability insurance

uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.

For comparison, many ordinary vehicle owners only have injury liability coverage of $15,000.

What does Uber and Lyft coverage amounts mean to you? For those injured in a rideshare accident where they aren’t at fault, Uber and Lyft may be able to pay out more for medicals costs and lost income, not to mention pain and suffering from the ordeal. To get this additional compensation, however, injured parties must have the representation of skilled, specialized rideshare accident layers. Only they have the knowledge necessary to make Uber and Lyft pay up.

This means you may have the right to significant compensation amounts due to a Lyft or Uber accident. If you fall into one of the below categories, West Coast Trial Lawyers can help:

You are someone (motorist or passenger) injured in a collision where an Uber or Lyft driver was at fault.

You are a rideshare passenger injured in an accident, no matter which driver was at fault.

You are a rideshare driver injured in an accident where another driver was at fault.
